He did what?!?! Well that sucks, I'd rather it be anything else in the world than his ability to use alchemy. Also, how does one give away their ability anyways? I thought anyone can use alchemy, they just have to learn how to do it properly is all.

I mean, I knew it was going to happen but ... after 5 years of being an FMA fan, this feels weird that it's all over.

I think I need to gather my thoughts and re-read the entire series (as well as watch both shows) before I give my opinion on the whole thing, but I will say this about the ending:

Spoiler for Finale:

I know that there were tears in my eyes as I was reading the chapter, but it wasn't because the events in the chapter were that touching (heart-warming yes but not tear jerking ... well some of them T_T were) but because it felt like saying good bye to an old friend.

He was finally able to die, as he had always wanted. He found inner peace, and his own two sons acknowledged them as their father. He was such a good man, it made me feel really bad that he died, but that's exactly how he wanted it.

Ed and Winry! That was pretty funny, with the way he proposed. Al having a kid with Mei! wasn't she like, super young? ahaha oh man. Still, I'm glad that happened.

What touched me the most though, besides Hoenheim... Was Dr. Marco's wish. He finally got a shot at redemption, as well as allowing Mustang to get his, too. But yeah, Dr. Marco's expressions -- it really gets to you, y'know?

It's so sad to see FMA to end, after 9 years of the manga running... But it was a good end. It left me satisfied. It was an amazing chapter, a fitting end to the legend that was created by the Elric brothers.

So much to say i don't know where to begin...
So i think i will just say that it's been an amazing ride, a great ending and i'm almost sad to see it go
Really i can say that this manga really did satisfy me

I think there was way too much of "after the battle", while the really important questions didn't get answered.

like what?

Actually i think those may have both been Ed's kids

Man looking at those pictures... i can't help but laugh at emperor Ling yoa XD

This was easily one of the better endings I've seen for any series in any format. While admittely it is a happy ending, it's not diabetes sweet like the Harry Potter ending. We see the ramifications, have things sorta answered(regarding Truth), see the development of the characters along the way, see Ed sticking to his beliefs in a worst case scenario, and see Ed act all Gar on Father. We also see Father get punished in one of the worst ways possible. Arakawa showed an EdWin ending without it being sappy and showed the brothers moving on with their lives. We have the redemption story in Scar and how he finally can do some positives for the Ishabalans(I absolutely love his new look too). Mustang was the only one who got a bit of a half-assed ending. There was no Deus Ex Machina for any event nor did Ed just magically pull his brother out of the gate, sticking to a very prominent theme throughout the manga that "A lesson without pain is meaningless". This is how you do an ending.

I can't believe it ended already . I always get sad when a series ends, espcially such a good one like FMA.

Spoiler for 108:

The chapter was amazing, not 150 pages but still awesome. The hole that Ed managed to punch in the father made him look like an arrancar . And is it just me or did the fathers door look different from Eds? Also, while I admire ed's determination to stick by his principles and morals, I would've used the philosophers stone because it came down to him choosing his morals or his brother. Ling and mustang both look really funny . And how about selim? Like really? They're stupid to keep a homunculus alive, even if he is being watched. You never know what can happen. Though I could see him being the base for a movie or something . The proposal was one of the best parts with Winry debating how much of her life to give Ed . And Ed jr looks exactly like Ed, the smiling looks like it was copied and pasted .

I thought Black Hayate became father actually, since the dog has no metal leg.

Wow. That's pretty much all I can say. I could go on hours about the 100+ pages, but I won't .. I can't. Just wow. Satisfying end. Made me happy and teary eyed all the same. Gonna elaborate later on it .. too emotional now XD

I'm SO gonna miss FMA

I was pretty happy they already pointed to Arakawa's next work. Something to look forward to.

I know that there were tears in my eyes as I was reading the chapter, but it wasn't because the events in the chapter were that touching (heart-warming yes but not tear jerking ... well some of them T_T were) but because it felt like saying good bye to an old friend.

Damn, so much I want to say ...

My thoughts exactly.

Spoiler for 108:

The events in this chapter were very touching but not really tear jerking or sad (except for Hohenheim ;_____; ) but I had tears in my eyes during the whole epilogue. It's hard to say goodbye...

I am personally completely satisfied with this chapter. With the fight against Father dragging out, I was always afraid Arakawa wouldn't leave enough pages for an epilogue, but we had plenty of it. I can't believe the chapter really was 100+ pages long! Arakawa-sensei and her assistants must have overworked themselves. My deepest thanks to them.

Really sad that Hohenheim had to go and couldn't spend more time with his sons (and his last words were ;____; ) but at least he died with a smile on his face in front of Trisha's grave. This is a great death for him. Greed's death was also pretty good.

Very pleased about the fate of the other protagonists, Mustang and Scar in particular. I was surprised that Selim not only managed to survive but is actually living like a normal human now. This is a better end than he deserves.

Loved Ed's confession to Winry, as well as her answer "I'll give you all my life". Awww. One thing bothered me about the last page though... Mei! It looked like her loli head was copy pasted onto an adult body, it looks so weird . And MILF Winry somehow looks younger than before.

Thank you so much Arakawa-sensei. And damn right I'm going to look forward to her next work! That reminds me, I should catch up with Juushin enbu...
